Cussons Baby Oil Mild & Gentle

Cussons Baby Oil Mild & Gentle is a pure mineral oil-based baby oil designed to deeply moisturize, soften, and protect a baby’s delicate skin. It’s formulated to be gentle and mild, making it suitable for daily use for massage, after bathing, or to help with specific baby skin concerns like cradle cap.

Key Active Ingredients & Benefits

• Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum): The primary ingredient, a highly purified occlusive agent. It forms a lightweight, protective barrier on the skin’s surface, which:
  • Locks in Moisture: Prevents water loss from the skin, keeping it hydrated.
  • Protects Skin: Shields delicate skin from external irritants and friction.
  • Softens & Smooths: Leaves skin feeling incredibly soft and supple.
• Chamomile Oil (Anthemis Nobilis Flower Oil): Known for its soothing and calming properties, making the oil suitable for sensitive skin and beneficial for relaxing baby during massage.
• Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate): An antioxidant that helps nourish and protect the skin from environmental damage.
• Olive Oil (Olea Europaea Oil): Provides additional moisturizing and nourishing benefits.
• Fragrance (Parfum): Provides a very light, characteristic baby scent, formulated to be mild.

Promised Benefits

• Keeps baby’s skin soft, smooth, and supple.
• Locks in moisture to prevent and alleviate dryness.
• Helps gently remove excess flakes from cradle cap.
• Enriched with Chamomile Oil for a soothing effect, ideal for baby massage.
• Mild formulation, dermatologically tested, paraben-free, and alcohol-free.
• Contributes to a gentle bonding experience during massage, which can help relax baby and promote better sleep.

How to Use

• For Moisturizing: After bathing, while the skin is still damp (or after towel-drying slightly), pour a small amount of oil into your palm. Rub hands together to warm the oil, then gently massage onto baby’s entire body to lock in moisture.
• For Massage: Warm a small amount of oil in your hands and gently stroke or massage it onto baby’s skin.
• For Cradle Cap: Gently rub a small amount of oil onto the affected area of the scalp to soften flakes, then use a soft brush or comb to gently remove them after a few minutes.

Suitable For

• Infants and babies with delicate, sensitive, or dry skin.
• Preventing and treating mild dryness and cradle cap.
• Baby massage for relaxation and bonding.
• Adults with very dry or sensitive skin may also find it beneficial.

Caution if you have:

• Known Allergies: While generally hypoallergenic, check for any specific sensitivity to mineral oil, chamomile, olive oil, or the fragrance.
• Slippery Surfaces: Be cautious during and after application as oil can make hands, surfaces, and floors very slippery.
• Internal Use: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth.
